Founded by Yasha Young of arts platform Urban Nation Berlin, Project M/ goes beyond the idea of a traditional gallery, utilizing the exterior walls, street-facing windows and building interior of the Berlin art space for murals, installations and studio artwork. For its latest incarnation, M/4, Urban Nation Berlin invited Andrew Hosner of LA gallery Thinkspace to curate the huge group show "LAX/TXL" featuring an extensive roster of big names and noteworthy up-and-comers in New Contemporary art, street art and beyond: Yoskay Yamamoto, Brett Amory, Amy Sol, Andrew Hem, Nosego and dozens more.
The figures in Erik Jones's paintings are enmeshed in generous heaps of abstract marks, subsumed in the saturated hues of cerulean blue, aqua and crimson. Yet the New York-based artist (featured on the cover of Hi-Fructose Vol. 27) strikes a careful balance between abstraction and figuration, using the realistically-painted character as a compositional element in equilibrium with his design elements. While Jones has said in the past that his intentions are primarily to create visual pleasure, his upcoming show at Hashimoto Contemporary in San Francisco, "Motion," delves into symbolic territory.
Thinkspace Gallery in Culver City is opening a solo show by Jacub Gagnon on June 21. Titled "Worlds Collide" this body of work is a step further in Gagnon's exploration of his surrealist paintings that tell stories of animals, the way they interact and the way humans interact with them. The intersection of the human world and animal kingdom has always been the main focus of his work and with this show he pushes it further with new concepts and unseen characters.
As an artist whose illustrations have natural fluidity, it's no wonder that Kelly Vivanco found herself painting water in "Peculiar Tides". Her latest solo at Thinkspace gallery has a water theme, an element that has captured our imagination for centuries. Water is a source of life and vitality, doomed disasters, bold adventure stories and some of the world's most curious mysteries. Telling its story is an undertaking felt by Vivanco's roughly 40 paintings created over 8 months, sculptures, and a narrative starring childlike heroines that vaguely resemble the artist.
